Best value bet: Magic +7.5 (51¢)

The Knicks may be more likely to win, but Dimers' top value bet is the Magic to cover the +7.5 spread at 51¢, available at Novig.

Those odds imply the Magic have a 51.0% chance of covering the spread, while our model puts that probability at 52.8%.

That's a 1.9% edge (accounting for rounding) in the Magic's favor, the largest across the moneyline, spread, and total points markets based on Dimers' probabilities and the best available odds.
